Henry Lutz, who is engaged in sheep
raising, his home being near Ancho, New Mexico, was born and reared
in Bavaria, and at the age of seventeen years became a resident of
Trinidad, Colorado. He arrived in New Mexico in 1883, making his way
to Santa Fe', where he entered the employ of Spiegelburg &
Company. Subsequently he went to Albuquerque, where he was an
employe of E. J. Post & Company, and in 1886 he came to
Lincoln, where he embarked in merchandising as a member of the firm
of R. Michaelis & Company. In 1889 Mr. Lutz made a trip to
Europe and remained abroad for two years, returning in 1891. He then
became a partner in the Lincoln Trading Company, with which he was
associated for four and a half years, and subsequently he turned his
attention to the sheep raising industry in Ancho, where he has since
remained. He has made a close and discriminating study of the needs
of sheep and what best promotes the business of sheep raising, and
he is today a well-known and successful representative of this
industry.
Mr. Lutz
is very active and prominent in Republican politics, being an
unfaltering supporter of the party and its principles and a
recognized leader in its ranks in Lincoln county. He has served
as treasurer and collector of the county for two terms. Fraternally
he is connected with Lincoln Lodge, Knight of Pythias.
